Zooming in on Genocide

A massive market cap and impending world dominance don't necessarily
mean Google is evil. Take the newly announced initiative, Google Earth Outreach
, in which the company hopes to show non-profits how to use
its popular satellite software for good.

In one of the more stirring
examples, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum hopes the
technology will bring more attention to the crisis in Darfur. Zoom in
on the region and you see the areas devastated by the genocide, while
informational pop-ups provide added details about the horrors taking
place and, of course, how you can help.—Gregory Mone
